So the Jeep, like I'm a multi-car owner.
But anyway, absolutely embarrassing and just ridiculous and just, you know, I was like, i was to describe the vehicle to him you know so fuck turn that off and describe the vehicle and first of all when you're describing a cyber truck you're like yeah it looks like uh if you fucking it's a fucking you know it looks like a ufo that couldn't make it you know that's kind of what you know it's just very it's like you know it looks like a uh like you're driving a sand wedge or something so just that of that alone is is bizarre and then i was like yeah i don't know what happened i ran inside here for a little bit and i came out and it was gone so i'm telling that and then i have the keys and then i i think i that's where my glitch was i was like yeah and i guess i um i still have the keys and i give them to him he fucking presses the thing and the keys to the uh my jeep and bam it's fucking right there so anyway whatever that's where i'm at um what else let's get, man. I just got back from the inauguration in the USA.

And I was, let's play some, let's play,

let's lead into it with a little instrumental. U-U-S-A Inauguration Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm very beautiful that's canon in d major right there if you're into that sort of thing um yeah i was just uh i took a red eye flight and so i got in probably30 in the morning, had to get dressed in the car, and took this suit that I have on, got dressed in the car, went to, got dropped off at a hotel, right? And you couldn't go within like five blocks of the hotel.
You couldn't drive up to it. so it got dropped off off so I was walking um and it's cold you know when you're like you know you're hurrying because we had to get there by a certain time by 8 a.m to make sure um that I could be like legit or whatever so I guess so I'm changing in this thing and I didn't know the man the man, the driver of the car that picked me up.
He was a, he was from a, like a United Nations area or whatever. You know what I'm saying? He, this guy was a, he, we probably got him in a trade or something.
I don't know how he got him. But he didn't speak a lot of English and that's okay.
And I didn't speak a lot of his language. So we just were, you know, we were different.
We were verbally kind of different people. And so anyway, I'm like, and I've never, you know, I'd have to change in this car.
And so it's just like, yeah, it's weird. First of all, I had to change down to complete nudity you know down to just um you know just down to the lord's matte finish you know what i'm talking about baby that first layer and so it was just a lot you know so anyway that happened and um and so anyway we get we get like you can only get within five blocks of this hotel to where I had to go check in by 8 a.m.
And it was called Hotel Wilfred Hotel Wilfred wrote it down. And it was fancy.
I mean, you go in and there's like a there's like a truck, like somebody has a trumpet or whatever. They're not even playing it, but they're holding it or whatever, like a guy standing by the door.
and there's like a truck like somebody has a trumpet or whatever they're not even playing it but they're holding it or whatever like a guy standing by the door and there's some guy whose job he stands outside his only job is to just be cold he just looks cold he's like you know it's like a nice place it's like like a place you would see on home alone where he goes where kevin goes and but yeah there's a guy out front his job is just to get cold for the rich people inside so they don't have to do that right so he's just outside just being fucking freezing that guy was out there dude and so i go inside and there's nice carpet and everything and this wasn't where i was staying this place was probably i don't even know how much it was but they wouldn't

like it was a lot but anyway everything had carpet the walls had carpet the ceiling had carpet

everything had kind of flooring or whatever everything and but very fancy like pictures of um

like uh like rich somebody rich eating something you know like oh um sirloin or whatever so anyway all that shit so go in there and ask to use the restroom they had a guy like the place was nice they had a guy who was just looking at you who looked like do we let this dude use our toilets type of dude you know like kind of like a shit bouncer or whatever they call it you know just a dude and he looked at me and i could tell he was like visually on the fence right but then i kind of gave him like a you know i can handle it um type of thing you know i can and then i went in the bathroom i'm in there changing or whatever I'm in there getting my toothbrush, get toothbrush, and put some lotion on my arms and legs, right? Because I didn't want to, you know, it was wintertime and I get pretty chapped out. So anyway, I go and I meet our group in the lobby and I meet up.

There's a guy named Alex Brusiewicz and he was the guy who got us in to be able to go.

And he was a guy also who his last name, I think Brusiewicz, I don't know.

It's letters that don't even fucking know each other, right?

It's like you could tell some of the letters if you write it out you're like oh these bitches they never even these letters don't know each other you know and if you look on the faces of some of the letters if you had them lined up you see some of the letters like i don't i don't know this guy you know pointing at the letter next to him or whatever yeah brook Brooks, Brooks, Brooks, Brooks, Brooks, Brooks, Brooks, Brooks, something like that. Anyway, I get there.
This is the people that is in the group. OK, it is.

And then Conor McGregor and Evander Holyfield. And Danica Patrick, right? The race car.
You know, she she was like at first they had like princess and mario kart and then right after that they had uh danica patrick so you know one of only two female racers ever so anyway that is our group that's our group right and like i don't even know. Let me see.
I'd never. I'd met Evanders one time.
Okay. So I'd met Evanders.
I'll tell you this story. I met Evanders.
So Evanders is. He.
One time I'm at an airport. I think it's Chicago.
And they had a McDaniels right there. And they had it all.

You know what I'm talking about.

They got it all, baby.

They got the McDouble, the Whopper, the Nuggets, the McNuggets, everything, you know.

They got it all.

The McFlurry, you know.

The ice cream machine's down.

Turn it on, Jack.

That bitch ain't broken.

Anyway, so one time I'm at the Chicago airport.

I see Evander's Holyfield sitting right there.

He was at a table by himself.

He had himself.

He got himself a medium fry.

Okay.

And I, you know, I'm the kind of guy that who I guess I'm the kind of guy who if I'm walking by and I see a Vander's Holyfield eating a medium fry, I'm going to stop and watch him.

You know, and you don't know you're that type of guy until you're that type of guy.

So I'm walking by.

I see the fry.

I see the Holyfield.

Bam, brother.

You know what I'm saying?

It's the fucking thriller for Vanilla McFlurry. You know what I'm saying? Like, I just had to watch this.
So, Evander's is sitting there. He's putting fries into his mouth.
And he'd been, over the years, he's accumulated a lot of punches to his face. Right? And that's no, that's historical facts.
So, some of the fries, he wasn't even opening his mouth. Right? He was just pushing just pushing on through the uh you know that pantomouth canal baby that you know through his face through his mouth just putting them in and there was a girl who had been working at the cinnabon down about maybe 70 yards okay they had a cinnabon about 70 yards down the terminal and I saw her run up I saw her run up and she stopped right in front of advantage and he's out he's there he's in the you know he's halfway through the fourth round of a fucking medium fry and this girl runs right up dude and you could tell she was, she'd left the counter unattended.

I'm not trying to rat anybody out, but this was a young sister, and she'd left the counter unattended.

Chicago airport, probably nine years ago, right?

Probably 7 p.m.

She runs down.

She points right at Evander's, and she says, Ooh, I used to watch you wrestle. I used to watch you wrestle.
So it just goes to show you can work your whole life doing something and somebody just, they don't know. People don't know.
They think you wrestle. You know, you could be one of the greatest heavyweights of all time.
And somebody thinks you are Coco beware, right? Somebody thinks you should have a bird on your shoulder. You know, it's just it is what it is.
No shade to any of those men. So anyway, that's the group, dude.
So now I'm getting on. So you had to you had to go outside.
I asked the people at the front desk of the Willard Hotel. Nice, bro.
Them bitches. Damn.
Like, it was old, too. Like, they had ghosts, I bet.
And even the ghosts would have a fucking wallet on them. That's how rich people.
You see a ghost in there, and he'd be, you know, he'd be like oh i'm rich motherfucker he wasn't even scaring people he's like that's from fucking poor ghost homie he was at the at the uh at the strip club dude you know um but um okay so we get to the back of the bus we sit down um oh so as we're going to get all outside to get onto the bus that's like leaving the hotel we go out out of the out of the area they had now they have like secret service and everything is very show your id like every 30 feet you're showing your id to somebody letting somebody look at you look at you you know some uh people touching your glands, the sides of your neck or whatever every somebody's you know somebody's asking you who your mother is you know that kind of so yeah there's just somebody like every 30 feet you're clocking in with somebody every 30 feet you're showing your credentials showing that wristband arm neck brace everything they had all kind of wrist brace neck brace back everything they had arm band neck band fucking they had so many things you had to show to get keep going to keep moving on so get on the bus it's a full bus uh there was a young lady and her husband right in front of me who were from louisiana that was really cool um she was she knew my friend mandy that i used to date and we was friends it was her friend um i'm sitting next to uh danica patrick from the race car you know what i'm saying so you know how i am bro i'm trying to meet a wife dude she's got a man no judgment but yeah it was great i saw i sat by her and it she was awesome dude we're like we're just climbing around having fun oh i forgot to say this so we're going right before we start to get into the bus that's when conor mcgregor's rolls up bro conor mcgregor's dude and this is the fuck you know what i'm saying and this guy comes up and his suit it

was like they perfectly fitted brother like he just fucking just just fucking oh like they just like the suit had just been stitched right around him just a second before he walked into our view and he was just fresh he was just fucking like he'd been just drinking irish spring soap water you, he just looked like he was just fresh out the tap, you know, and he he was energetic and he rolls right up, you know, how you going, lad? Class, class, lad, you know, just nice. Great to meet you.
You know, just positive. His energy was just a lot of energy, like a lot of it.
it was, honestly, it was a lot of good energy that he rolled up with.

Just in right there to the Paul boys.

And he didn't know, I guess him and the Pauls had had confliction online.

And I didn't know it.

I didn't know that.

You don't see me in all the gossip columns and all of that.

But they had confliction online, grown men, arguing on the'd been doing it and no judgment man but yeah he just comes in with his energy he had his energy up like that and he just had his energy like that like he just found all the pots of gold they'd ever hidden yeah lot fair play boys. Fair play, boys.
And that's how he rolled up, you know? Like the fucking, it was almost like Notre Dame. It's like if he was a guy on the little helmet or whatever, you know, on the hat.
He was a Notre Dame guy. But he was twice as bad as that little mascot guy they'd had he could just

it's like he had a thousand joe joyces in each one of his hands and he just had the legs strong

as the moors you know and what are moors let me look it up i think i'm just yelling stuff out of

my head group of people with surname moore who originated from ireland oh well

Thank you. Let me look it up.
I think I'm just yelling stuff out of my head. Where is Ireland? Group of people with surname Moore, who originated from Ireland.
Oh, well. Moors.
I thought it was like a thing. Moors.
Moors. The cliffs of Moor.
All right, there you go. And he had legs like the cliffs of Moor.
And he rolled up in his head. He just had the energy of a fucking.
He had the energy. He had his.
He just was full of electricity. He really was.
He had it. He just had.
It was a. He had a voraciousness.
You know, his aura was at about six, seven, seven thousand, eight thousand. And I might even sure what the exchange rate of that is and um in british pounds i think they use them there what money do they use in ireland oh euros yeah oh yeah it's euros or minus buddy we're gonna figure it out but anyway so so that's how he rolled up a lot of electricity but even just dude he knew my name said something nice so i was like you know i was very just you know i was like holy shit dude dude.
So then we get on the bus.

Right.

So I'm sitting next to Danica Patrick.

Okay. We're sitting in front of Evander Holyfield, dude.
You know, and people used to watch him wrestle. And he is a legend.
We're on this bus. And then John Shahidi, Kyle from Nelk, and Kyle Foregard.

Or Foregard? Foregard. I'm not sure.
Is it Foregard? Foregard. Kyle, they call him Kyle.
Obviously, I can tell why. Because after that, you're bothering people.
But Kyle from Nelk, who looked like he was going to court to not get in trouble for a serious crime, like a business crime. Like he looked dashing.
He really did. The man looked dashing.
And then behind them, oh, and then Alex Brusiewicz, John Shahidi. And then in the back, it was Jake Paul's Logan Paul.
Behind them, Pam, Logan's mom, and Conor McGregor, the fucking Cotterati kid of Ireland. And it was just, and it was awkward awkward you could see also on everybody's face because i guess there'd been issues between um the pauls and the mcgregors they'd been having beef online or whatever and so uh they'd been beefing and so there was issues there and i didn't know it but so it was just awkward you know so i think there was some energy there uh but it was also people was uh they said fair play to each other both of those sides said fair play to each other boys and we're gonna have a good day and we're here for something bigger than bigger than bigger than us you know for uh to witness just a country that has freedom and so uh the bus took off took a while we sat there 40 minutes, a lot of laughter and fun stuff.
You know, just crazy, dude. I mean, I can't even believe I'm sitting next to, hold on.
I'm sitting by Evander Holyfield, right? And you could tell he can feel like these, these other boxers in the back, but we know who the fucking dog is, you know. And I looked at him like, I'm on your team, brother.
You know what I'm saying? If shit gets fucking risky out here, you know, if things get crazy, you know, then you, you know what I'm saying? And he's, you know, he's getting up in years, but if you got to even use me as a white walker just to help you get out of here, mate, let us, whatever we got to do, man. Um, so, but yeah, but I, I just, I truly can't believe that I'm on this, you know, it's just, it's a, you know, do you find yourself in certain moments where you're like, this is pretty crazy that you're in a moment, right? And it's just regular people for sure.
But if you're like, this is like, who did we trick or whatever to get in here? You know, like how did we, I don't know. I don't know.
And we didn't trick anybody, but there's a part, there's just like, yeah. You're like, what are we, you know, one of these things is not like the other.
It just seemed like, I don't know. And I'm not trying to say that like in a self-pity or like pity me way.
I just are like, oh, I don't deserve to be there. I'm just like, it just was fucking kind of a surprising moment.
We're all going to a presidential inauguration. I don't know these people, you know, I don't know.
I mean, I know John Shahidi really really well he's actually a close friend of mine um who runs happy dad and i know um who else was it i well i paid for one of evander's fights before for sure when they had early pay-per-view i know and um and i've paid for one of the uh paul's uh fights uh and Logan, but I don't know them, you know? So anyway, there we all are. We're on a bus.
We get over by the Capitol, and they say, as soon as the thing ends, we have six minutes to get out of the venue and back onto the bus before they're going to shut down certain roads. And that was one of the biggest things all along the outside.
When I've been walking towards the hotel and everything, it's probably 10, 10 to 30 degrees or 40 degrees or 34, six, seven degrees. Right.
It's not a ton of degrees, but it's not it's not like no degrees, but's like uh some degrees you know what i'm saying so but there's military everywhere every you even like you like there'd be military there's like swat team um you know police sheriffs um undercut like a marine Every, there was people in high, there was like, like I went to use a mailbox, I opened it up. It's a fucking military guy in disguise, dressed up like a male thing.
Like, oh, fuck, you know? He still took two of the letters for me. So thank you.
But yeah, everything you just couldn't, you got to be careful. There was military everywhere.
So you couldn't piss outside kind of vibes, you know? Anyway, so we're driving, but all the roads, there's like barricades everywhere. There's like trucks that they've just brought into park at all these intersections all around this capital area.
Like, any corner you would pass on the way in because we'd circled the entire thing trying to find a way to get closer to this hotel. So I hadn't had to walk just because it was so brisk out.
So the thing but there was some of them had cement barricades. Some of them just had like a big trucks.
Some of them had SU war, little war trucks or whatever. It's like a little tank, but with, and they made them for regular people, but they were fucking sad.
It was like H Hummers. They had those real Hummers.
They had, what else? They just, there was things stopping everywhere and there was military personnel all over or police, uh, personnel all over. So anyway, the bus ride takes a while.
You got to go through these certain streets. They've had these big barricades set up and then you have to kind of like turn the corner and then straighten your bus out to make it through, um, these huge, like kind of cage steel, uh, walls that they've put up.
So the bus can just fit right down the middle of the walls, like the full intersection is the full street is closed. And it's just been narrowed to this one, like the middle lane kind of it.
And so that took a while, like doing different turns. Anyway, we pull up outside of the Capitol, probably pretty far off.
I'm not sure. Maybe 400 yards.
We walk, we start walking in a beautiful day. Beautiful.
I mean, like freezing cold, but just picturesque. The sun's hitting you.
You can see the Capitol, the American flag. And, um, it was exciting.
All the officers, it seemed they're all wearing like this, the hot, the hot, the hot the cold um Like headgear you can just see their eyes or whatever and just their gun or whatever and that's and um Yeah, they look like all like kind of dark snowmen like kind of like black snowmen like a little bit because it was just A lot of them was wearing SWAT gear tactical. They had everything.
They had a fucking gun, handcuff, billy club, Ray-Bans or whatever, you know, just pepper spray, salt spray. Just fucking, you know, you didn't know what was going.
Just, you know, one of them would fucking just throw a grenade full of lemon pepper, you, lemon pepper, you know, if it got, if shit got really bad. Uh, so anyway, that's, you have all the, all these officers and everything you go inside.
Let me think, right. So at the bottom, oh, there's all these bikes.
They'd parked all these bicycles and stuff kind of to make it like you had to go past them. And it was a little bit of like a gauntlet kind of, it was just odd odd the different things that they put in place to kind of make it odd to get into places so you get inside and then we walked along a hallway and then you start to see military like marines um army colonels generals serge uh sergeant staff sergeant um sergeant pepper i think had everybody in that bitch right they had everybody was there was and they were standing at attention you know and some were at not attention you know the lazy ones or whatever i don't know who they were but they um you know and some people were getting photos i mean if you're rolling with conor mcgregor's they you know people's fucking topped in lot you know that's the most violent tallest leprechaun they ever made right there he's a savage man and so yeah and you got him in the paul's and so um it was kind of nice because i you know i was just uh under the radar they're all taller and bigger and so they have more um excitement i just kind of nice because I was just under the radar.
They're all taller and bigger, and so they have more excitement.

I just kind of was – I was just – I was kind of in awe of the situation.

My buddy, the wildfires got his home, but I'll tell you this. He had a fish tank and the fish in it survived, which is pretty unbelievable.
But that's just the power of nature and water. It's been estimated that the damages so far from the California fires total more than $250 billion.
dollars. The loss of immeasurable, and the state and city are still in shock.
There are claims that insurance companies canceled thousands of homeowners' fire policies in the months leading up to the fires. Were those cancellations legal? Could this catastrophe have been avoided? If the wildfires were caused by negligence, someone must be held responsible.

It was like on the front, like last Friday or whatever, when you got, you know, when they got a bunch of, you know, they got a bunch of kind of basketball wives fighting for those TVs or whatever.

It's for thanks.

Whenever Christmas shopping starts, you know what I'm talking about?

So they had that.

It was that kind of energy.

Everybody's running to get a seat type of energy.

And we weren't running, but we were kind of keeping a quick pace. But then we got up in there, and we sat down,

and they had also with us or by us or whatever was sam altman and he did ai right and we'd love to get to chat with him and learn about um how the world's going to fall apart like you don't say we got to at least uh learn about it a little bit and then um sam altman alexander wang right and i don't know a lot of wangs i don't know any okay there he is alexander wang or vong i'm not sure how they do it in he's new mexican so he's he's kind of the um you know he's kind of the as John Jones, if you will, sort of. He, but he went to MIT.
He's a interesting guy. Anyway, he, he's there.
There was all, everybody else was governors, elected officials, rich people, like, you know, people that had cattle or gold, you know, or whatever.

And some people don't even call it gold.

You know, at first, a lot of times they called it rocks,

which is a crazy thing, but I could easily see people calling it that.

And that's sad.

Anyway, so we all sit down, right? We all sit down and it's a weight, bro. It is like it is like you know and there's a lot of military you got to meet a lot of military folks so just to see all them in their dress garb you know i mean that was that was probably one of the coolest things you're in the capital and there's all everybody's in their garb and it's just very um regal very regal looking and uh yeah and people were amped and there was fun stuff and then every now and then you'd shake somebody's hand and they had a wet hand or whatever and you're like oh fuck you know somebody get this fellow bag of flour or somebody or just get him one of those um uh pool chalks and let him just chalk his hand up before he shakes again before he meets somebody, you know.
But yeah, and then so that that kind of happened. We sat there for a while, probably 30 minutes.
And then and so we all slipped off and just slunk out and got into a special area beneath some stairwells where a lot of the military was back there and they had they was drinking chicken broth, hot chocolate and coffee. And the government had given them a little bag with a banana in it.
You know, you're like, dear God, these people putting their lives on the line, right? They're here to protect the president. We're fucking somebody.
I mean, it's some of these bananas had been,

I don't want to say they had been abused or whatever by their owner or whatever, but they had been trafficked. I don't know how they.
But some of the bananas had. You know, they're not, you know, they're they're not going to be put back in circulation.
I surprised some of them were still in circulation and uh anyway um but the military personnel didn't care and uh and that was kind of a blast too just that was probably the highlight of the whole inauguration was seeing all the military folks from all different branches from police to um like uh army navy swat uh sweat there was just some gay guy wearing a sweat shirt says sweat on it um who else they had even stolen valor even the people out there in stolen valor you were like you know you were it was an honor all of that just that great. Sorry, this story's getting long.
So anyway, we got over there and we're just, we hadn't eaten any breakfast, right? I hadn't. And so you're just, I'm just slurping chicken broth and slurping hot cocoa, you know.
And anyway, so that was like a nice excursion from sitting there. We go back to our seats and my chair was bad.
I had a bad chair. The chair had been, I don't't know it was probably made in cherna or whatever it's been one of those you know probably a chair um yeah it was a chair that shouldn't be allowed to chair they should check these chairs right they should breathalyze and whatever they should do but they did whatever this chair you know probably knew somebody or whatever and got in the building.
Anyway, it was kind of slagging a little. My chair was kind of like, so when I sit down, I had that fucking lean on me.
You know what I'm saying? That's so the lean. That's so the lean.
So a lot of, and suddenly as soon as I sat like that, a lot of black people kind of nodded at me. once you have that lean on your body, it's a little bit of a kind of urban respect going on, you know.
So I was like, OK, I'm in. I'm here.
So we sit down. The congregation starts the whole congregation.
The whole evening starts. The inauguration starts.
And it's very nice, man. I mean, it's just, you know, you're witnessing a piece of history and you get to be there.
And it definitely felt like a lot of very regal people and everybody was dressed very well and just fancy. It was a diverse group.
It felt like. I don't know if that's true.
That's that's crazy to say that part. part.
But it was nice. It was really nice.
And just like, yeah, I just felt lucky to be there. Just to see it.

You know, I mean, I was saying this this weekend on Twitter, but, you know, some countries, they can't vote.

They don't have voting.

You can't go vote.

You just live.

And you feel like you don't have a say in how um in the template that you operate in or the the word the universe that you're set up and you don't have a you don't have a hand to raise ever um but but yeah so just it was just it was it was it was wild to see that. It was wild to witness it.

And then just the little things, just like everybody just watching, like, all the little things at the inauguration, just the little moments of little glances from the different people. And it's like this whole changing of the guard.

And it's like this tag team.

It's like tagging in, you know, instead of tagging in your partner, it's like tagging in your opponent, which is just such a wild thing to witness in a, in a sport. If you look at politics, almost like a sport.
And so we sat there, everything was going pretty smooth. And then at some point my chair broke, right? The chair broke.
I fell, it fell. I just, it fell, right? I fell out.
I don't know what to say it. The chair like might've, I don't don't know what happened right but the chair fell and i fell and it was like oh dude it was the worst right it was embarrassing because at first i thought oh people thought i did this right like i don't do i don't like physical stuff uh i don't like that like i'm not good at that type of stuff falling out of a chair that type of shit right that's for fucking clowns or shitty mimes right like a like yeah that's for shitty mimes the shitty mime type shit i don't do that so the chair broke and then i was like oh man and sam altman looked at me the guy who made ai bro like, I was like, oh, God, that dude's never going to come on the podcast.
I was like, dude, design me a chair right now. I was like, design me some way to get out of this embarrassment.
So that was kind of strange. And then I got up and anyway, the thing carried on.
We snuck off one more time to get some more stuff because it got long. You know, some of the benediction got a little, you know, they were up there rattling and shit.
And then Trump came through. He gave a very long speech in there.
you know i think addressed a lot of different things in there.

That it was kind of like the B sides, like things he maybe didn't want to say in the actual, you know, main part, but he said in there. And then on the way back to the hotel, our bus

kept turning off. It was experience and breakage or whatever, or it was broken.

So we got out and just walked like the last few blocks. And that was kind of hectic.
Just because some of those people are pretty recognizable. And, you know, just a lot of people were coming up pictures and videoing and ask, you know, people from a different place.
It was just a lot. It was like a lot of energy.
And it was kind of a little scary, you know, like I don't have security. I'm not saying I need security, but you're just out there.
You don't know what people are. You know what I'm saying? You don't know.
You just don't know what's going on. So that was a little crazy.
Got back to the hotel and yeah, went home, went to my hotel, which is a couple, maybe maybe a mile away or something took a nap for a few hours and then went to the ball later on and there was some issues about the chair you know I ended up like well here let me tell about the ball so the ball I guess they had a bunch of different balls and I had got it I got a ticket to one ball, right? And it was very nice. It was called the Starlight Ball, and it was beautiful in there.
And I got dropped off. You had to get dropped off blocks away.
And then they had a very long, like, snake walk that you had to go on to get to the door. And it was probably maybe, probably a 20-minute walk, right? And so it was cold out.
It was probably 25 degrees or something. So you're walking out there and I didn't bring a coat.
Right. Cause I didn't know, you know, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't think, I guess.
And so I didn't think about a coat and I didn't have a coat. And so we finally get up to the front and they let you in and it was beautiful.
You know, it's nice. It's elegant.
They got curtains. Some curtains were 80 feet long.
90, 45, 75 feet long. They had curtains that had carpet on them.
These bitches, they had everything in there. The craziest thing I saw, they had a ceiling fan.
It must have been 150 feet up in the air, dude. I was like, what? How would you do it? And so I kind of was like looking for the switch for that low key for a while.
Let me see. Inside of the ball, I got to see some people that I knew.
Joe Rogan was in there. Mayor Ernie Johnson.
Who's the guy? Speaker of the House, maybe? Mike Johnson. Mike Johnson, maybe.
Got to talk to him. He's from Shreveport, Louisiana.
He had a great sense of humor. We got to joke around a little bit.
He had a few of his children with him, got to talk with them. Wayne Gretzky was in there, the great one.
I saw him. Dude, Wayne Gretzky had lost uh his tooth in there my tooth got chipped right my tooth my tooth got chipped or something on a hard uh appetizer right so wayne's in there i told him that he goes like that showed me his mouth he's missing a whole tooth dude you know run, never going back.
He had that bitch just gone. I mean, he's a hockey player.
So yeah. But then they're like looking on the floor for the tooth.
So for probably 10 minutes, I'm helping him and his wife and somebody else, like a, I don't know if it was a dentist or whatever, but a dental assistant, basically. I think it was just a dude that liked guys or whatever, but he was trying to help look for it.
And then, um, so we're looking for Wayne Gretzky's tooth. Okay.
And I think he's like, yeah, I think I, I think he, I, at one point I thought he said he had a couple, he usually kept a couple extra on him, you know, cause this is a hockey guy. These guys, you know, you'll go to bed, they'll have their wedding ring and a tooth on the nightstand.
You you know that's just the kind of guys they are you know um so yeah he just had that empty net up top

and it was um but it was hilarious dude we laughed and uh and we took a nice photo together me him

mike johnson um and then i started getting through some social anxiety in there that was a little bit

hectic and what else was i mean it's just like a couple thousand people you know and you can't be like hey have you seen wayne gretzky's tooth you know like so i would do that a couple times i was like yeah have you seen wayne gretzky's tooth you know and i think a lot of people thought it was a euphemism for something or whatever it was like um kind of like uh something like that but um, anyway, I don't know if they found it or not.

I got to touch base with them.

But what a legend, dude.

What a legend, bro.

That was awesome.

So that kind of made my night, I think.

What else?

I saw Tony Hinchcliffe and Jeff Ross, and we joked around for about a half hour over by the desserts.

The things that I did not enjoy, to be honest with you, you no judgment but these are just things that what it was like there was only probably 25 chairs in the whole place for probably i don't know maybe it's 2 000 people in there or something 1 600 people um right is that the right amount of people uh maybe 1 000 people so they only probably uh they might have had 40 40 chairs right so there was you it was like if you saw a chair it was like it was it got squid gamey in there dude it was very if you even hurt an ass cheek leave a fucking seat you could hear that you could hear it at 40 paces you could hear an ass cheek leave a leave a seat see people rush in fly in

just frisk paces you could hear an ass cheek leave a leave a uh seat see people rush in fly in just first for that damn 18 square inches of real estate boy for that ass real estate maybe that chair um who else sean o'brien i saw the teamsters union president who came on uh to the podcast once who else did i get to see or not see? Oh, Ben Shapiro. I saw I didn't get to talk to him.
Jake and Logan, I saw. I'm leaving some people out, but it was just a lot.
And I was kind of burnt out. There was just like a lot of meeting people and it was just a lot of energy.
So then at one point I ended up leaving. And at the same time, Lex Friedman was leaving.
He does podcasting. I'd never seen him before.
And we talked. We walked for about 20 minutes and then caught an Uber for about 15 minutes and just laughed, had a good chat.
Yeah. And that was it.
That was the whole deal. I didn't get to see, I didn't get to meet anybody of the cabinet or anything like that.
And I didn't get to see Barron Trump. I didn't get to see Barron, bro.
B-Dog, bro. You hear me? I didn't get to see Barron Trump.
That would have been something nice to meet that man. That's a young man you want to meet.
You know what I'm saying? He just, he's that, you know, he just is. He's that freaking seer.
He's that seer, baby. He's the Lord's lookout, baby.
You know what I'm saying? He is. He's that crow's nest of society right there.
And so, that was probably a bummer i didn't get to see uh bobby kennedy jr who's a friend of mine that would have been really nice um i thought melania looked really nice and gangster at the same time beautiful gangster vibe uh i got to see jd vance's wife um just see her see her. That's really beautiful.
I think she's the first Indian second lady in time ever that we've ever had, Indian American. And if you've never met an Indian person, go meet one this year.
I say that wholeheartedly. I met a couple Indian people last year and I'm still enjoying the benefits of that.
And it's great. That's been great.
So if you haven't met someone like that, that's a great person to meet. What else? There was some – oh, Tim Kennedy I got to see.
I just met him a week before. And I wish – I couldn't find his number.
I was going to try to meet up with him.

It was so hard to go from one thing to the next.

I was like, once you got somewhere, you were kind of there.

There was just a lot.

It was very tough to kind of move about in the city.

What else?

You all know I like to keep things cool, even in the winter.

And nothing is cooler than a blue cube cold plunge. I'm fortunate enough to have one at home, and let me tell you, it's like baptizing your soul, baby, getting that little crispy bucket, baby.
It gets rid of them demons we all have and makes you feel great for seven or eight hours afterwards. It's good.
My buddy Thomas Schiffer, the genius behind Blue Cube, and I go way back, and he just launched a presale for their new stand-up cold plunges. Wow.
These things are the Cadillacs of cold plunge therapy. American-made, full immersion, weatherproof frames, and built like a Sherman tank.
I'll say this, they are built well. And because you're listening to me,

Head over to their website, blue cubeubebaths.com and dive into the details. Opt in on their website or give them a call.
I am grateful for the one that I have, and I feel honestly thankful to be able to have one. I know they're not in everybody's price range and that's understandable, but at the same time, I want to support my friend and his amazing company.
Is pornography causing a problem in your life? Do you find yourself watching porno for longer periods of time and having trouble stopping? Is porn affecting your relationship or dating life? Well, you're certainly not alone. Watching pornography has become so commonplace today,

and oftentimes men use porn to numb the pain of loneliness, boredom, anxiety, and depression.

Shame and stigma prevent men from talking about these issues and getting help for them.

I want to introduce you to my friend Steve. Steve is the founder of Valor Recovery,

a program to help men overcome porn abuse and sexual compulsivity. Steve is a long-term sexual recovery member and has personally overcame the emotional and spiritual despair of abusing pornography and has dedicated his life to empowering men to do the same.
Steve is an amazing person and he is a close friend of mine. I mean that.
Valor Recovery helps men to develop the tools necessary to have a healthier sex life. Their coaches are in long-term recovery and will be your partner, mentor, and spiritual guide to transcend these problematic behaviors.

Yeah. And I think my biggest takeaway was just that things, it's just changing, you know, it's

like, um, just that things are kind of different, you know, like I couldn't believe that they,

that we got to be at something like that.

But I think that's just how the world is getting.

Everything's kind of evening out.

You know, I don't really believe that there's like, it doesn't really feel like it almost

feels like there's not even really famous people.

Everybody feels a little famous because everybody is able to kind of promote themselves if they want. You know, what used to be like media that felt like it was kept from people or controlled.
It just feels like it's just there now and you can make your own decisions based on how you're consuming or who you're consuming consuming stuff through i guess um i don't know i guess i don't have like a lot of macro level pictures pictures of that kind of stuff but just to get to meet sam altman dude the a the ai guy like what um and then there was just more interesting just like yeah it was fascinating i wish. I wish I had had, I was kind of burnt out.
I, I, I, it was very magnificent and had like a, you know, a Cinderella type energy and stuff. I'm just glad that I got to go to it.
I couldn't believe that. There wasn't on, there was a thing where, you know, I thought Jake and Logan, I thought Logan and Jake were messing with me.
They had videotaped, they were vlogging from the get, right? And I never spent much time around them, you know, and I know that they're really successful and they're, I mean, they're tough guys. Those guys those are tough guys right no doubt so anyway they put a clip of i fell out the chair dude and i didn't do i didn't know i knew that the chair had been bad the chair was faulty his faulty chair i don't know if that was cia or whatever no idea no idea how you know if they there was a plan there but anyway they the chair was faulty but then afterwards somebody said that they were fucking with the chair you know um and so part of my brain was like oh were they did they do something with it to egg it on you know like you know what i'm saying if you see somebody who's like leaning on a crutch or whatever and then you bar their crutch you know you leave town you know because you got priors or whatever and then they fucking they take that l baby that gravity l baby they fall so i just didn't know so i got in kind of this skeptical place um and i should have just checked in with Logan about it, I guess, but they were recording everything.
So I didn't know if they were going to record it or whatever. And I just I hadn't been around him that much, you know, and I didn't I think I get nervous around like vlogging type of things because it feels like you're there.
somebody could be setting you up or something and i'm just not that familiar with that universe uh and then later in the day um logan paul's made a video where he said uh he made a challenge about uh oh he said if i was going to put you through something i'd put you through a table you know not a chair because he is a wrestler he's a wwe wrestler i believe he's been a champion too, hasn't he? Let me see. Yeah, he was the WWE champion from November 2023 to August 3rd, 2024.
So, yeah, so I thought he, you know, so I thought that he wanted wanted that he was, you know, then I thought he was creating like an online hype about it.

You know, I thought he was calling out the rat king, you know, and if you want if you want the smoke, baby, I'll fill your lungs.

You hear me? Because I'm going to give you the truth, baby, and I'm going to give you the trauma.

Name the time and the place and the place and the time because i got a clock and a globe and an axe to grind from alaska to nebraska from maine to fort wayne so that's where i was at and then uh we ended up talking in the morning and um i just i should have probably communicated that was my my my part in it was I didn't communicate better. And they weren't they they didn't they didn't do anything.
They were recording the chair fell and it was ridiculous. And then they weren't trying to they weren't trying to wrestle.
I used to watch you wrestle. They weren't trying to wrestle.
And so, yeah, so no hard feelings there. Yes, I'm just self-responsibility.
I think it was just a little bit of a miscommunication, just not knowing each other, maybe not knowing each other's energy some. And I'll say this, too.
honestly, I had a great time hanging out with them because we also had had a great time that weekend.

They were probably two of the guys.

Yeah, we just just joking around.

I got to see how they interact with their mother.

And I thought that that was very sweet, to be honest with you.

No home, no ditty or whatever, you know, just, just like the way, and it was just all real genuine, you know, you could tell that they have, you could just tell the affinity that they have for their mother and the same for them, because a lot of families that grow up where the children are famous and stuff, they don't have the same fortune. They don't have the same good fortune, you know, and so that was really cool.
Actually, it was I thought I admired that about them. Yeah, some this honky Zen monkey rolled up on me at the hotel at one point and was kind of just like he was just kind of trying to say stuff to me and just, he was drunk.
Right. And he was just kind of kept spitting a lot.
And it was just a lot for me. And he was just, his, his energy was super clear.
He was like right up in my face kind of. And I told him I didn't want to really talk.
I was just, it had been a long day or whatever. And then he kept, he kept coming up and, uh, Logan, uh, and Jake both kind of just formed, just put a damn Trump wall right there in front of me.
And I didn't need to be rescued, but I'm kind of glad they stepped in because it could have got a little weird. You know, I was kind of I was on edge a little, you know, I just hadn't hit a meeting.
You know, I just shit like that. I, you know, I just got to take care of my own shit a little bit better.
But, um, so yeah, what I'm saying is, and nobody asked me to say this, you know, uh, we just, Logan and I had a call the other day. That shit was just confusion.
And, um, yeah, that, that was just confusion. And then, uh yeah i'm actually glad i got to um i'm glad i got to get to know them better to be honest with you it was kind of a joy of the weekend and um what else was nice i mean it was all just crazy just to even even just to like stand around around a Vander Holyfield and you're just like, welcome to be around him.
Right. There's not like he doesn't have, there's no, neither one of y'all needs to walk off.
Cause you're both in the same group. It was like, you're at a field trip.
That was it. That's what it was like.
It was like when you were kids at a field trip and it was like, okay, this is the B group and this is your chaperone or this is the L group and this is your chaperone. And so that was us.
We had eight or nine of us. We had our chaperone.
And we were just, you know, we were just learning about civics and getting to see some of it firsthand. And we really did like laugh.
It was a fucking blast, dude. And yeah, I think maybe part of me, I wish they'd have asked if they'd have put the clip of falling of the chair out or whatever.
But in the end, it's okay. It's all good.
You know, I don't have any, any ill thoughts towards them. You know, um, I, I, uh, yeah, I thought that they were, I thought they were cool guys.
Maybe I need to quit saying that dude, obviously they're both married and I like women, but, um, but yeah, I kind of wish we would have fucking took that. I kind of wish we would have took it to the ring you know i think it was a part of me that that was hoping you know because you know the rat king baby i'll put him in the freaking mozzarella wheelchair baby you feel me my finishing move is the tax evasion baby so um but that's every kid's dream to get in there and get body slammed and lose a vertebra, you know, in a sold out arena in Charlotte.
I mean, who, you know, we can all dream. But yeah, I'm just glad I got to go to the inauguration.
I would have gone. You can't miss it.
You couldn't miss it if you got to go. And I just feel that i got to go and so thank you to alex bruschowitz um for taking me um for john shahidi my buddy who's uh been super supportive and helps me a lot and helped me um get to do uh the political podcast last year and just to learn about some things that i care about you know and um and just different politicians and how it works.
It's like, I've learned a lot in the past year, to be honest with you. I think anyway, you know, I think I have.
And, um, so yeah, wish I'd have gotten to meet Barron. Um, wish that I gotten to see Bobby Kennedy.
Um, some people gave me a hard time about going to the inauguration or supporting a party or whatever. I don't think about it.
You know, I support, I do what I want to do for me. And you can do what you want to do for you, you know.
But nobody owns my support. Nobody owns my support for anything, I don't think, you know, except maybe my family.

And even then, even then, I'll keep it away from them sometimes. So I don't know about what else.

Let's take a call that came in.

Here we go.

Hello, Mr. Theo Vaughn.
This is Judy. Hey, Judy! Sorry, my buddy used to say that all the time.
Carry on, Judy. Onward.
Thank you for calling. Treeport, Louisiana.
Oh, yes. Mike Johnson country, and you know, he's Speaker of the House.
And I liked his attitude. I liked his energy.
You know, and I'm curious to see what this whole new campaign, what they do in there. I'm curious to see, you know, because it's a motley group that they got going in there.
And I want to get to meet some of them. I want to get to talk to some of them and learn some stuff, you know, and also ask them some promises.
Are you going to do going to do this. You can do this.
And then we can see if we can hold them to it. If we get to keep podcasting for years, we'll be able to hold them to it.
Hey, you said you were going to get to do this. Why didn't it happen? Or why did it happen? You know, so that kind of stuff really intrigues me.
You know, are we going to get lobbyists and foreign countries and APEX and all these different people out from

interfering with our candidates and interfering with our lobbies?

Or how does it work?

And also, am I just delusional and I just don't know the whole system?

And if that's the case, then educate me on it.

Because there's also just a cost of doing business in some things, you know, like sometimes there's just, there's a cost of doing business, you know, like you could go set up a fruit stand or something or a little, uh, little watermelon stand or something, uh, a little banana shop or something on the corner of a street. You could do that, but you have to pay a permit, right?'s just the cost of doing business so sometimes i wonder if there's you know what the truth is out there i want to learn more about that let's hear more sorry i've called you a few times anyhow i just want to say congratulations i'm so happy for you that you had the opportunity to go to b.C.
on Inauguration Day. I had actually said something to my husband over the weekend that I sure hope Theo Vaughn goes to Washington to experience Inauguration Day.
Well, thanks, ma'am, or young lady. Yeah, thank you, miss.
I appreciate that. Yeah, Theo Vaughn went to Washington, I guess.
Fievel goes west or whatever. Fievel goes to Section 8.
That's going to be maybe I'll be able to be in that. Yeah.
But Fievel was a mouse, dude. And he went west and we're the rats, baby.
And we went east. So but thank you for thinking of me.
Yeah, I was thinking about that, too. I was like, how can I not go? You know? So, yeah, thank you.

Let's hear more, miss. Because you, my friend, are so worthy and deserving to have that opportunity.
Countless, countless of us are so grateful. Thank you for going.
You truly deserve that. I was so excited for you.
and I just want to thank you again

for just having truly truly deserve that. I was so excited for you.
And I just want to thank you again for just having truly the best podcast that I get so hyped to listen to. And you were so deeply loved.
Well, thank you. Thank you.
That's sweet of you to say that. That's nice of you to say.
You know, I did. I thought about my teachers from growing up growing up i thought about my mom i i didn't steal but i took a couple extra napkins um because i know my my best friend's mom is gonna want one my mom's gonna want one probably um yeah there's a teacher too if i ever if i get to see him again that I would like to give him to just little things like that.
Um, yeah. And to see things you like and don't like, you get this witness like, okay, there's some stuff here that I feel like this.
There's some stuff here that I feel like that. Uh, yeah, I felt like, um, I don't know.
I just couldn't believe it. You know, to be real honest with you, I just couldn't believe it.

You know, I just couldn't believe that I was sitting in there, and I'm at the damn, you know, this is like the, they're doing the inauguration.

You know?

And then the chair broke and i'm like oh

oh and you're on the floor and you're like oh this isn't good and then you just i thought i'd i was like please let me fall through to another world or whatever like i looked over at sam altman and i was I was like, send me into the matrix right now, man. You know, don't make me have to just get up and just be human.
So that was a lot. I don't know.
Was it a lot? But anyway, it is just is what it is, man. And the best part of it was some rich lady scoffed at me.
It's like, oh, oh, as if she had to watch one of her own dog's shit. You know, those people that are really rich, they have someone else walk their dogs.
So they never really know that their dog's shit or whatever. She was like, oh God, it's like grabbed her husband's arm or something.
I'm like, yeah, you got it right. You're sitting in the wrong section.
You in section eight, boo-boo. These chairs busted as hell, brother.
So maybe we'll start making our chairs in fucking America again. I don't know.
Maybe we'll start taking some pride in the things that we built, that we build. You know.
I don't know. I wonder what the future is going to be like.
You know, I wonder. And if we're strong enough, man, it's weird.
It's like the things that I feel like are bad for me. Sometimes it's hard to stay away from.
It's hard to keep using them. You know, it's just, it's interesting.
But I'm just happy I get to be alive and play the game every day. Sometimes I play it pretty good.
Sometimes I don't. Sometimes my attitude sucks.
Like, yeah, dude, I was at the ball or whatever, and the desserts, dude, I was just, I wanted to get a drink or something. And then I was like, I'm not drinking, you know.
I'm not doing it. I was just like, I was kind of going through it.
And so I fucking said, I'm going to get me some desserts, right? Because sometimes if you want to drink to stop that craving, you get you some desserts, boy. So I tongue down a couple Petty Fours.
Baby, let me bring up a picture of one of them. God, they're good.
They're beautiful. They're good if they're good, but when they're not, they're just a waste of your fucking calories.
And I'm the kind of guy, I'll put something in my mouth. And if I decide once it's in there that it ain't worth it, you're going to get that shit back, honey.
I'll put that shit in a napkin, baby. And hide a little doggy bag somewhere behind a plant or something.
I don't give a damn. I'll fucking feed that bitch to a sofa cushion after I take it out of my mouth.
I don't give a damn. Because I don't eat bullshit sugars, dog.
A petit four, also known as mignardesis, mignardesis, is a small bite-sized confectionary or savory appetizer. The name is French petit four, meaning small oven.
That's small oven, baby. You know what I'm saying, huh? Damn, boy.
And Wayne Gretzky lost that freaking, he was spitting chicklets, dude. Shout out to them.
He had a, I'm upstairs, baby. He fucking, the Lord installed a window on his smile, baby.
He had that thing going. And shout out Wayne, man.
We talked about his family and I'm just clowning. He knows he had a great sense of humor.
He's like, yeah, usually I got a couple extra I keep on me. Oh, but just moments like that, you're talking to the greatest hockey player in the world and he's asking you how you're doing.
And then you're just helping somebody look for a tooth in a fucking nice room it's just like it's just the shit you kind of always dreamed about i guess you know um let me see if there's one more question any questions you guys had nick or zach i don't think so are you looking for a voicemail can you hear me you notice anything on your mind about the election was there anything you made a point you post on instagram about how you think we need more than two parties that was interesting yeah i think that's something you know i think that's a big thing for me is that hey how do you get more parties because i feel like if they're, you know, if they're just, we need more teams. It'd be more exciting.
You know, and I know there are more. People are like, there's the Green Party.
I know that. Let me see.
How many political, just so we know, some of you guys are like, this idiot, you don't know. The electoral system in the U.S.
is called a two-party system. That means two parties dominate the political field.
The two largest parties. Okay, minor parties.
There's the, obviously, so then you have democratic and republican those

are your two major your minor parties are the libertarian party was founded december 11th 1972

as of march 2021 it is the largest third party in the united states

claiming nearly 700 000 registered voters across 28 states. The Green Party, you know what I'm saying? Blow it in the air, baby, that sticky icky.
The Green Party has been active as a third party since the 1980s. You know what I'm talking about.
Cheech and Chong, homie. That's what's up, baby.
Dope as your love. The party first gained widespread public attention during Ralph Nader's second presidential run in 2000.
OK. OK.
And then the Constitution Party is a national conservative political party in the United States. It was founded in the U.S.
tax as the U.S. taxpayers party in 1992 by Howard Phillips.

There's also the Alliance Party is a centrist.

American political party was formed in 2018 and registered in 2019.

And the Vermont Progressive Party.

So that those are three, four, five other parties.

That's pretty cool.

I would love to just talk to Bernie Sanders again. You know,

that would be something nice this year to learn a little bit more about some stuff. Yeah, I'm just, I think I've gotten more curious this year.
I feel more curious. And then just, yeah, some things I want to do this year, try and be better to my friends.
I think I can do it

and just take more time. It's not in my own world and think about other people's worlds.
That's one thing that keeps me sometimes I just get stuck in my own world. And then it's, it's not that I'm not thinking about others.
It's just, I'm thinking about me too much or some things I have to do. Right.
So there's some goals of mine. Anyway, ramble anything else any other nick did you have a question anything come to mind i know zach had it i didn't i just thought it was kind of a beautiful moment it did feel like things are changing good or bad yeah that's the thing sometimes change it's good you don't know you know it's like bobby kennedy uh people did it people said he was a witch doctor or whatever people said he was um what were some of the things you heard oh he worked for frankenstein you would hear all of that or whatever um you know people would say he has a bus full of like frogs with band-aids on him and shit like that and like bears that are missing arms or whatever and yeah yeah he's definitely you know he's had some weird instances with some roadkill i'll agree to that um but it's a mystery i like something new i like let's try this let's try this.
Let's try this. So, all right, blessings to you guys.

As always, the hotline is 985-664-9503. What was the call-in thing that we spoke about earlier? Nick, do you remember about one of we talked about that would be a good call-in thing craziest thing you've ever seen in a bathroom oh yeah that's what it was man so one happened at one thing that happened was i was at the inauguration you know and uh and and i was there right and so this so i go into the restroom, right.
Typical, you know, restroom user, that's who I, who I am. So I go in there and you start, there's only a couple of sounds that you hear in the bathroom that you, that are kind of acceptable, right.
You know, you, you'll accept a lot of sounds in a bathroom. You're

like, okay. You're like, oh, all right, but okay.
You know, and then sometimes you hear some stuff and you do a quick prayer for somebody or something, but there's only a few sounds, but somebody was in there either. I don't want to say doing, you know, cocaine maybe, or, or just breathing short really fast every now and then.
